    I recently came here to get a massage and scrub. Checked in, got situated and waited in their relaxation lounge. I like their facility here because it's upscale and nice. I had a 50 minute massage and papaya scrub add on with Julia. I asked for light to medium pressure since I wanted it to be relaxing and soothing. I didn't get much of the forearm massage, more of fingers and hand. One of the things I didn't like was the super thick heavy covering that was used. Plus she put the hot towel under my neck at the beginning and I started to feel hot under the covers. It wasn't the usual covers that massage places use. It was like a thick comforter. The music was unusual, I can't explain it but it was a bit to loud. I should have asked to lower the volume. She did a nice job on the papaya scrub. At the end while I was still under the covers, she placed my super thick heavy robe on top of me and I felt like I was pinned down from the excess weight. I'm serious. But overall, she did a nice job on my massage and treatment. Then went to shower. Liked their shower. Their locker area, restroom area was nice and clean. And all to myself. Their services includes a pool pass to the Waipouli Resort Pool. Anyway, they don't give paper receipts but they send it to your email. Later in the day I was looking at it and noticed that the gratuity/tip was over the 20 percent. And mind you, the Hawaii State tax is 4.17 percent. Should have been around ten dollars. Look how much I was charged. I'll include a screen shot of the bill. You do the math. I was severely overcharged on the tip and state tax!! I dont know what's going on here. They also charge for Resort fee. I asked about that initially when I paid my bill BEFORE I started my services. The Resort fee is for the use of the pool, which I agreed on. One of the other reviewers mentioned about manipulation, is this what they meant, about their bill? If you come here check your bill before leaving.

    Mine was by Karen and my friend had Joseph! Amazing.

    TIP: Do NOT use the Yelp directions! When it opens up to maps, yelp changes the location to some weird residential address. Google map the HOTEL. When you pull in, follow the signs for the spa, there is tons of parking. Kama'aina review here: The BEST SPA! It was so hard to find actual SPAs with amenities such as .. well ANYTHING. Most of the "spas" are just massage services. After TONS of Yelp research, I found only ONE spa with nice showers -- you guess it-- THIS one. This one has: + HUGE showers with excellent shower pressure, shampoo, condition, soap, with a HUGE shower head and a detachable one. + Spacious bathrooms + Luxurious changing rooms with lockers, bathroom, lotions, combs, etc. + Relaxation room with various furniture (super clean) while you wait in robes, drink water, and eat chocolate covered macadamia nuts. + POOL access to the resort after with Jacuzzi, etc. It's also a beautiful hotel -- not dingy at all. My friend and I were actually thinking of staying at the hotel next time! + Under $200 for most services (including taxes and tip) The massage? Amazing!! I had Karen and she SUPER focused on my problem areas-- more than any other massage therapist! My friend had Joseph whom she said was so smooth, he transformed her into an ocean! LOL!

    I personally don't want to give Spa by the Sea too high of a rating, but if my wife was doing the reviewing, she'd give it a 10 out of 5. She loved it. They set us up 10 yards from the ocean on some grass and we got to hear waves the entire time during our 80 minute couples massage. (Which really was 70 minutes... jipped.) Here are my thoughts... - EXPENSIVE! $350 for two people for 70 minutes. Yikes! - They set you up in a public park so for half of our massage we had to deal with screaming kids playing soccer right next to us. At one point my masseuse even stopped and asked the kids to back away. - I felt good afterward, the service was very attentive and did a good job. - Great for the novelty of being on/near a beach, not in a giant resort.

    Best massage ever! My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a Lomi Lomi massage. It was worth the price.

    The entire staff, from Haylen who helped check me in to the owner Greg, I felt so cherished, important and cared for.
